Thanks! I made these for my father and he liked them! He loves making pumpkin muffins
(with eggs and white sugar) and the whole foods muffins I've tried are too heavy to appeal to him. It occurred to me to try something different with the pumpkin which he can't compare. He's never had pumpkin cookies before. I used dates since he has a sweet tooth, and I buzzed the oats into almost flour, and added 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda, again, to make them more acceptable to him.
I don’t have ground chia. Anything else need to be modified if I skip that ingredient?
Brittany: Do you let the dough set to hydrate the oats or just bake right away?
